According to Tséng Kuo-chuan's way of deal. ing with the Kolao Hui people, only those who are known to be notorious leaders of the society are put to death, and members and unimportant personages are not thus severely punished. The governor of Klangal is fellowing the example of the veteran statesman in his dealing with the same question, Nine Kelas Hud members were captured last month to Sungkenhaled and were brought to the capital, for trial. Upon ending that the prisoners had committed no other mis. demeanour than gambling, orders were given to the officials conducting the trial, to punish them according to their deserts. They may therefore be able to excaps the death punishment.

The Total's special object is said to be to select and train bright Chinese lads who may hereafter be of special service to their country in her foreign relations. Only boys between the ages of 1 and 15 are to be admitted, though no one will be surprised to learn that suddenly increased since the project became known. Hardly was the preclimalion out before 70 or Bo names were handed In for the preliminary examination, which is fixed for the rath of the 5th month. A building has been rented and two astire gentlemen in connection ith the telegraph office have been engaged as teachers. They are credited with being falt mathematicians, but their knowledge of English will probably not bear ton clate an examination, However, the Tantai tells us that they are only to be employed temporarily til skilled teachers can be secured.
